Tupelo Salisbury changing name to Blue Ocean Music Hall

.
Sort of liked the Tupelo - Londonderry / Tupelo - Salisbury way of thinking about these venues but probably was confusing for some.

So my question is, does Scott still own it?

Quote:Hi Everybody

Effective April 1, 2010, Tupelo Music Hall Salisbury will become Blue Ocean Music Hall. OVC, LLC, owners and developers of the Salisbury music venue will assume full management of the venue. Tupelo Venue Management and the name “Tupelo” will no longer be affiliated with OVC’s Salisbury venue. All tickets and gift certificates purchased for upcoming shows remain valid. Tickets bearing the name Tupelo Music Hall Salisbury will be honored.

Good question Tricia?! I liked the Tupelo concept too AH-cooler name too. I suppose for where they are though the name change makes sense.

Based on this, Scott will no longer be involved ..

Quote:Capolupo announced in August the venue would be managed and the entertainment booked by Scott Hayward, owner of the Londonderry Tupelo Music Hall. The room used the name Tupelo Music Hall Salisbury, which will change on April 1. The benefit of working with Hayward, Capolupo said at the time, was his expertise in entertainment venue management, knowledge of the music scene and ties to popular performers, as well as Hayward's existing network of music lovers who patronize his very successful Londonderry Tupelo Music Hall.

Salisbury's venue has produced 40-plus shows attracting more than 10,000 people during its four months of operation under Hayward's management.

Yesterday, however, both Capolupo and Hayward issued simultaneous press releases announcing their split. Hayward, when called, preferred to make no comment beyond saying the split was mutual.

Capolupo expounded a bit more.

"It's a difficult situation to have to make a change at this time" he said. "But in the long term this is for the best. I have absolutely no ill feelings about Scott. He's a great businessman and great model. It just wasn't working."
